The research specifically focused on evaluating the inventory's reliability, validity, and conducting an item analysis. Data were collected from a sample of 299 (97 females, 202 males) respondents consisting of students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah.

The reliability of the instrument was tested using internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha). The effectiveness of each item in the instrument was tested using item-inter correlation. Test validity was measured through convergent validity to assess the correlation between different items of the same construct and concurrent validity to examine the correlations between CDSES-SF subscales and Self Value measure from Personal Life Values (PLV). The reliability for the total scale showed a good consistency with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.93. All the subscales of CSDESE-SF had met the reliability criterion within the value of .70 except for Goal Selection (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.69). The item analysis revealed low to adequate internal consistency, with Cronbach's Alpha ranging from 0.152 to 0.678. The analysis also identified two items that require improvement to enhance the instrument's reliability. The convergent validity of the instrument was significantly and positively correlated with each subscale. The concurrent validity examined the positive and significant correlations between CDSES-SF subscales and Self Value measure from Personal Life Values (PLV). These findings contribute to the overall validation of CDSES-SF as a reliable instrument for assessing career-decision self-efficacy, emphasizing its utility in research and practical applications.
